I truly believe now what General SVR since October is claiming...that Putin died by the end of October. The interview yesterday was a cumulus of nonsense and lies. It is indeed a double and the real one would never agree to that kind of interview. 100%.
Hey Vlad, you have 5000 videos sucking on war and "Russia bad" topics, but nothing on dementia ruled opposite side of things and Europe. Makes me think you're another biased blogger funded by those you don't talk about. Can you please prove the opposite and post something on that matter? Thanks!
You haven't waych his videos to write this comment. He's telling truths and you can t handle it. The problem is not with russians per say but with leadership. Citizens should have risen before to prevent this but now it's too late and they're stuck imo@@old-schematic
To call it an interview is a bit of a stretch to start with. This was just an opportunity to release the bots and trolls on all comment boxes of all social media platforms around the world
Yeah ,but now we know for sure that putin is raving ...so often people think there is a rationale behind his beliefs somewhere but now we know .. all those that cry out for negotiations will reLise ,you can't negotiate with someone who isn't present to himself ,let alone anyone else !
Yeah, I myself subscribed to the British (Russell Brand turned Ruzzian Brand) and Indian (Amit Sengupta, but this one stepped back some time ago and didn't cover several months). Bots under their posts are multiplying so fast, just like bacteria in the lab 🤢
So people ARE aware most interactions with people that have a positive opinion of russia and their warmongering are fake? Comments like yours need to be TOP comment all the time because the people who don't know are exactly the ones who get influenced by bots. Go to CNN, Fox, DW or any other news channel. You will get downvoted, your comment gets deleted, yet somehow you will still get tons of notifications of bots that simp for Putin. Worst thing is that it's facilitated by platforms in the west. On the one hand they want to engage with comments; on the other hand they don't do enough to counter disinformation.
Yeah I agree that it was surprisingly poor! He really felt like a sad old man rather than a powerful super intelligent 4d chess player. It’s a tragedy that so many have died rather than a few relatives getting annoyed over a cantankerous Christmas dinner - “yeah grandad, we get it the West is being super unfair on you 😂”. There’s too many old confused people hanging on in politics these days. Of course Putin has no choice… I can’t remember if it was this channel said that being a dictator is like holding onto the ears of a wolf, the only thing worse than continuing to hold on is letting go.
"I could have made this speech 10x more destructive." I believe it, and am glad that our most competent ally in this struggle is their sheer incompetence.
@@AstroGremlinAmerican Maybe because he is not as bad as the establishment media makes him out to be. Russia SHOULD take back Ukraine because Ukraine is a NAZI STATE
Whilst I believe this is true and I did find it odd that he didn't go in deeper when given many open goals by Tucker I do wonder if this is by design. Putin isn't stupid, though I don't think he's a mastermind strategist either, but at the moment the US by not passing military aid bills for Ukraine (which ironically is actually giving them older munitions whilst the money actually goes on updating America's arsenal and keeps American companies doing well) is doing exactly what he wants and if he has gone in hard on the US he might have convinced me Americans that this needs to change. He already has his lackeys in the Republican Party and Trump saying everything he wants to hear so why risk any of this when he knows if aid doesn't come Russia will take more and more of Ukraine. It's very sad to see what is happening in the US happening and even though I found this interview very odd just having it happen I think he sees as a win for him.
Since the beginning of the war, there was a well-known meme where Lukashenko tried to show everyone a map where Ukraine was preparing an attack, but mister Pu overmeme him by passing to an freeze Karlson a folder with Khmelnytskyi's letters.😂😂😂
Could explain, your highness Fuhrer Why you feel the need to invade Poland and burn the Jewish people? Thank you, now i understand your point of vieux. They had it coming!
I personally see Tucker as a grifter, like Solovyov; he is fully aware that everything he says on TV and social media is B.S. and is just in it for the money.
I don't see why interviewing Hitler would have been a bad thing. Journalists are supposed to seek out the viewpoints of different folk. Yes it was reeking of propaganda but I'm happy it exists. When making decisions, one should see and hear as much information as possible. Just because you listened to what someone has to say, doesn't mean you agree with all, or indeed any of it. In fact, if you want good life advice, you'll often learn a lot more about yourself or the subject, when reading a book you dont agree with. Consuming only material we already agree with is precisely what leads to the polarized echo chamber modern social media and politics is.
Corrupt is rather common for politician, so it's like nothing said here. Head of mafia just show how ridiculously deep did you sink into media propaganda.
But you have to remember who his intended audience was... the American Maga types.. he waffled so innocently that he was making it look like all he wanted was a tea-party in Ukraine by the gentle giant Russia..and to save them from the oppressive Nazi state in which no one has any rights and don't understand that they are really Russian... ...and on the day it was announced that the opposition candidate would not allowed to run against Putin in the election in Russia... 😂 So much for defending freedom.and rights huh..😊 But Tucker's audience will have swallowed everything Putin said hook line and sinker...
His part about Poland in WW2 was very interesting, he said Poland did not compromise with Hitler over Danzig and therefore he had no choice but to invade Poland. Not only does this demonstrate a fundamental misunderstanding of WW2, and also undermines his view of "might makes right" and moral indifference, he basically says Hitler was right/didn't do anything wrong. Which is not what I expected from this to say the least.
He apparently hates Natzis but somehow loves and admires then too - it is weird. Basically he would have loved them if they didn't happen to be German rather than Russian I think!! 🤔 Basically the only problerm with them is that they were German
@@pindapoy1596But what does Avdiivka have to do with Tucker and Putin being unhinged? Russians may as well march to Kyiv - it will just prove my point...
@@andyhx2 The unhinged guy is winning. Is he therefore that unhinged meaning "irrational" or "acting crazy"? Results and achievements is what counts on the battlefield.
It was a NASCAR car crash. One of the is botched interviews I’ve ever seen. At least watch him fetishize dates and events of history. And look at the look on Tucker’s face. He’s holding in laughing at Putin.
@@skywillfindyou After 23years of putin i think we have an absolute certainty about the russian system under him now and your one of the nobodies that prop him up like the good little Zombie that you are..
Tucker: "Why did you invade Ukraine?" putin: "In the beginning, God created the Earth...." The interview was comedy gold. putin's lack of self-awareness was stunning.
I am an American. I am not sure what an average American is, but I don’t think most Americans are even aware that this interview took place, nor do they care.
The average MAGA just keeps droning on and on about how NATO is costing them money. They are pretty stupid and lack any insight into economics or Geopolitics.
What frightens me as an American is that the US is the largest producer of Oil and LNG but we fight the Middle East so Europe can have cheap oil prices. What frightens me is EUROPE has started two world wars and literally dragged America into both just so 80 years later cry baby Europeans can call Americans war mongers! 8 of the top 10 Universities in the world are in the US. We're not dumb we just don't give a shit about Europe
The average American has an attention span related to the length of a tik tok video so you have nothing to fear from the interview. What you do need to be concerned about is the degree to which the right-wing mediasphere controls our discourse and the Democratic party can't produce a better candidate than Biden. Any American is going to have fathers or brothers who served in Europe and grandfathers and great-grandfathers who fought there. The possibility of the US abandoning Europe like after 1918 is remote in the extreme despite Putin's blather and Trump or not.
I didn't watch the interview myself, because... c'mon! But I've read Putin blamed Poland for ww2. What did he say, why? Was Poland wearing a miniskirt?
@@moonasha Charles de Gaulle said similar, that it was only himself that liberated France and placed France among the victors of World War II. As for Putin, I guess the Soviets reneging on their repayment of US Lend-Lease after WWII means it never existed. To all those who served on the Artic convoys, shame on Putin.
It is a bit scary though, because Hitler also “rambled” a lot of nonsense before WW2, including in his book. People dismissed it, but then he tried to implement even the most nonsensical of his ideas, multiplying them by a thousand. When reading The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, it was incredible to me how much of what Hitler did he foreshadowed, but the world didn't respond it adequately, because they didn't expect that he was actually for real.
putin hasnt said anything he hasnt said 100 times before, and tucker was too afraid or too uninformed to actually argue any of the talking pooints. overall, a waste of two hours. if you havent seen it yet, dont bother.
Ah, yes. Take your word for it random internet stranger. Completely defeating the point and further adding to the ignorance that western media wants to keep the peasants in. Bravo, sir. You're a shill and sheep. Follow the flock over the cliff.
I don't think Putin reached anyone in Tucker's audience. The vast majority of Twitter followers can't absorb a message of over 140 characters. A half hour lecture on Russian history. Oh please. Most of Trump's followers couldn't sit thru of half hour of American history.
Wrong, and in this Putin is correct, the western world leadership has undermined the wealth and freedom of its own people and have embraced war. Have refused to sit at the negotiation table, after the west created the war themselves by failing to adhere to agreements they themselves concocted.
To be honest, I find it insanely hilarious that Tucker desperately tried to placate to Putin with his questions but Putin's view is so unhinged that he made him look bad anyway.
It's more than just groveling by Carlson. Another poster commented that this gave Putin an opportunity to vent to Western audiences and Carlson a chance to play an important person. Here we are talking about Carlson like he's something other than a racist hack and Putin like he's not a murderer with something useful to say. You see what I mean?
I think this a great observation, that it could've been made so much "better" and more destructive. And I think that's revealing in itself, as it indicates that Putin is winging it in semi-isolation. Yes, he prepares, but he doesn't prepare as head of a great influence operation with great advisers.
Very true, imagine if an educator such as a "dark" Vlad had been there to coach Putin! Also Putin completely misunderstood Carlson's audience, eg, if the audience is shallow UN world order etc wouldnt be interested in RuZZian history at all.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one laughing First he lays out the thousand year history of the country he's claiming doesn't exist Then claims the West was mean to him. Which led to the best line of the night, when Tucker responded with an actually insightful "You're obviously bitter about it..." 😅 to which an I'm sure annoyed Putin had to say "no no no" Another doozy was him sympathizing with Hitler over Poland stubbornly refusing to be conquered by him even when he asked nicely. So Hitler had to invade 🤷♂️ Kinda like Putin and Ukraine? Smh And the topping on the cake were the two 5 minute infomercials for China lololol
This playbook is revealed in the book "Utopia" by Thomas More. They claim to abhor war, including a list of reasons for going to war, some seem noble; to help a friendly nation, but it includes "to get that thing which the neighbor refused to give" or (page 83) "for they account it a very just cause of war for a nation to hinder others from possessing a part of that soil of which they make no use," in other words, if I can make better use of your land, than you are making of your land, I will take it. basilica.ca/documents/2016/10/Thomas%20More-Utopia.pdf
In fairness, Putin asked Tucker if he wants serious conversation or a talk show. Serious talk requires serious analysis so a lot of information was being presented which is always a good thing. If Tucker wanted a talk show, Putin could have presented short answers that he knew would be popular amongst audience. But that would neither bring anyone closer to understanding the current situation, nor it would be Presidential of him. Putin presented part of what type of knowledge is required for being considered a serious global political figure. - The first part is the history of Russia. You maybe wish he was talking about the history of the state of Ukraine, but that one did not exist and is country of recent history. He basically painted a picture that most of Ukrainians are Russian in origin. - Russia won WWII, it was only natural for it to be included into global security instead of being targeted by NATO. With refusals of NATO to include Russia, Russia is in the right to conclude that NATO is anti Russian block. It is obvious. - it is not sympathizing with Hitler, it is analyzing Hitler's way of thinking towards Poland back in the day. Russia was only sympathizing with Checkoslovakia being attacked by Hitler and Poland and that was one of the reasons why Russia also attacked Poland when Hitler did. - what is untrue in what Putin said about China? Finally, is there anything untrue in anything Putin said?
@@js4182 World ;Wars 1 and 2 drew lines on a map often with little regard of who lives there. But a *natural* border exists, the Dnieper river. East of it is strongly Russian, around 90 percent ethnic Russian. West of it is European and slavs. That would be a natural division BUT it splits Kiev.
Vlad Vexler provides a calm leadership in his measured conversation style, that leads responders to be measured in comments and not devolve into shouting matches.
@@VladVexlerChatyou do your part in the best way that it can be done. I still wouldn’t call it failing, since we have no true control over other people. Also keep in mind that some will have a reasoning or reaction that will be inappropriate, whatever the approach is being used.

well the people who support him was saying the Ukraine invasion is a "Western propaganda", then they said that it will be fast bloodless conflict where they restore order in Ukraine, then they say that Putin actually never planned to take over Kyiv, so...
If he is so easily tricked by western politicians; are you the right leader of your country? If he is so obsessed with history; why does he not try a debate with Snyder or Plokhy?
Reductio ad absurdam: As the Denisovans were the very first occupants of Russia: should we now move all of today's Russians out in favour of those with the most left-over Denisovan DNA even in current times!?
And don't forget about how Kaliningrad is actually Königsberg and belongs to Germany. No wait, before Prussia got Germanized by the Teutonic knights, the Prussians were a baltic speaking people. So Kalinigrad actually belongs to Lithuania! And don't forget about the Neanderthals that lived there before the Baltics. What about the Neanderthals?
Like a schoolyard bully, Putin lectured Carlson about how 'mistreating' Russia is 'self-destructive,' one of those classic, "Why are you punching yourself?" the bully asks while punching. I also noticed the Trumpian hand gestures and movements. What a strange fantasy world he lives in.
His world is not fantasy he just knows more then public is aware off.Back channel negotiation are ongoing between Russia and USA at least since Vilnius summit of NATO none of it is public so far
I'm mildly masochistic in other circumstances but I'm not enough of a pervert to enjoy even the thought of sitting through that shitshow. So thank you for watching the interview and giving us this summary. I'm glad you had a laugh about parts of it. I'd worry for your mental health if that weren't the case.
Thank You Vlad! As a Latvian, it did get me nervous when he mentioned Latvia. Putin lies when he opens his mouth so singling out Latvia and Poland did seem worrisome.
Poland and Baltic states should unite in order to make him tweak. For some reasons Russians still fear Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth. It's been centuries since Poland was a superpower but Putin still thinks we matter a lot smh
As for now, he doesn´t "have an interest" in your country, but you as well as a finn like me knows that could be a very different story if he succeeds in Ukraine.
Right, you should never check sources yourself, let others explain everything to you, or you risk to develop opinions that will conflict with current narative.
My subjective take- Russo-victimization is utterly fascinating to me. I've had conversations with Russian citizens, and certain parts of the citizenry are just completely under the spell of this victim mindset. It always ties back to the World Wars and the horrible things that happened to the Russo-citizens of the time period. I agree what happened in Russia was horrific, but we are now generations away from the wars and the need to feel victimized in certain parts of the modern day population is bizarre. Sometimes, it appears to me that Russia is one of the very few countries that never really started moving forward after the wars ended. Maybe some Russians are still fighting those wars.
As a Russian myself, I agree. I used to have the same type of thinking, but I was able to look critically into it. But I see this attitude around me and it bothers me a lot. It’s a huge problem and the core for other problems
I think the part where Putin went on to defend the Nazis invasion of Poland, or at least justify it is worth it alone as it shows how bullshit the claims of this war being about “denazification” is.
"There’s no point in debating with delusional people" Your mileage varies. When the delusional person has nuclear weapons the "point" is to find out when, where and why he would use them. If you simply decide he's the enemy, well, he appears to have decided YOU are and then it's war.
Putin is a joke 😂😂😂 He said he wasn't going to invade Ukraine but he did. 😂😂😂 Latvia and the rest should better beef up their defence and deterrent measures
@@thomasmaughan4798 Effectively that’s all he’s got. If he didn’t have nukes, western intervention would have been overwhelming and this war would have ended in Moscow long ago. Then the Russian people could have had their Nazi germany moment and moved on to become a peaceful, prosperous, respected nation.
@@marymarlow3646 "western intervention would have been overwhelming and this war would have ended in Moscow long ago." Likely so. "moved on to become a peaceful, prosperous, respected nation." Russia was rapidly becoming exactly that up to a couple of years ago. I very much wanted the awesome Russian TX-500 radio from Lab 599 but they could not manufacture enough of them for the demand. Astronauts reached the ISS (International space station) on Russian rockets.
"Thank you for watching the interview so I didn't have to" if you want to know what the interview was about just watch the interview, this is one persons summary and opinion and your not actually going to get a full picture of the interview
Haha same thing happened to me Vlad, I started watching the interview and about 15 minutes in, I just had to laugh out loud. FIrst of all at the utter incompetence of Putin to start with a 30 minute history lecture on stuff no Western listener cares about, but then also at the absolute pathetic whining that was present in every sentence. The mind of a child, trapped in the body of an ultra rich and powerful czar. And then Tucker's look whenever he was shown. Isn't he aware that his "I'm listening to every word intensely"-look could be a cave man parody instead? What a bizarre disaster.
I started laughing 3 minutes in, when he mentioned "Prince Rurik". For one, no American or Western viewer will be able to stand that, and two - the disconnect between the question and the answer was hilarious at that point. He could only be funnier if he decided to do some ball-juggling as his answer. Possibly, with invisible balls 😄.
I watched the interview and found it very enlightening. It's not that I found Putin sympathetic, but we learned a great deal about what motivates him. Overall, I would say that Tucker has done us a great service... something that the corporate media has utterly failed to do. Thank you Vlad. Love your content. Please consider doing a piece on the accuracy of the history lecture that Putin did.
As Carlson mentioned before the interview part of the video, the history part of the interview was to provide the context and timeline of what did happen. It would really be great to get an accuracy check, because Vlad did say, the dates mentioned by Putin are wrong. In what way are they wrong?
Mind you, Putin advertised what he wants you to think to be his thoughts on the matter. ( At best assume these to be political motivated, his chess game.) Putin will never disclose his true toughts.
@@wouterke9871 I got two big "takeaways" from the interview, if you'll allow me a crude analogy. 1. Putin is like the abusive husband who beat his wife half to death and then blames it on his wife, saying, "see what you made me do". 2. He accuses the US and more specifically the CIA of all sorts of nefarious activities, including manipulation, coercion, election interference, and coup d'etat, which I'm sure is likely true. What he failed to mention is that Russia does exactly the same things. As an American, I view these kinds of activities to be as Russian as vodka! Putin comes off as a man who's upset because he's losing at a game which he considers himself to be a world champion of. So... he's tossing the whole chess board on the floor, saying, see what you made me do? It would be laughable if it weren't so tragic.
evil Vlad Vexler be like "hello ugly community, today I am going to explain how to destroy our democratic institutions by tethering them to the practiced vice of untruthfulness"
@jessehachey2732 I can sense bitterness. No, if his content is of great intellectual, he would be interviewing putin instead of carlson tucker. What he's adhering to pertains to women gossiping. He'll make the goons bored that throwing him off the window wouldn't be entertaining.
So many Maga people were really looking forward to the interview to finally get the "truth" and confirm their long held suspicions. My guess is that these same people with be left feeling unsatisfied. They are very quiet after this "most Important interview ever" turned out to be the opposite. Soon to be forgotten
I agree that the interview was a total flop for both of them. In Tucker's defense though, I think he was intimidated by the fact that he was in a totalitarian country interviewing a psychopath. If he pressed Putin too hard then he would have been charged with espionage. The video would have never been released and he would be in a Russian gulag.
And that would be a bad outcome? He probably had to have all of the questions vetted in advance. I don’t think they would have jailed him if he had departed from the script. If Carlson had the balls, he could have sprung some zingers on Putin. Not his agenda, though. Two increasingly irrelevant people trying to increase their currency by being in the same room.
Whether he is smart or not, Carlson's signature move is to just stare back with a dumbfounded look when someone he is interviewing says something incredibly stupid and illogical. My guess is that he was hoping to hit paydirt, but just ended up going over a played out stretch of old tailings.
6:50 After watching the whole thing, I think he rejected the opportunity because he saw it as below him to openly try to manipulate Western citizens and sow more distrust. He tried to sound sincere and sober with a few gaslighting attempts, but all in all the goal of the interview seemed to be to give a general justification to the world, or to future historians, and to explain his wisdom to all the people who would surely hang on his lips for hours. Russia would remain the misunderstood victim anyway, and wouldn’t lose anyway, no need to accomodate anybody.
Wtf is wrong with you ppl. Witch it yourself without someone telling you what you should think. There was actually not a lot of new information and if you were someone that really looks into things you’d come away with a different opinion one this whole mess
You should not rely on others to interpret important information. Even though Vlad did an excellent job of presenting what transpired, you don't really know that.
@@rc8770 Any "conversation" between a thug and a hypocrite with a predictable outcome is worth missing. And in Vlad we trust - he has a proven track record. Although, I wouldn't trust him to chose my sweaters.
The irony of all this is that, Tucker, a promoter of free speech, interviewing someone who despises it to pass on his message to the other people that promote it.
@@josephsmith106 gee, why would someone not want to watch an interview with a grifter, and a guy who poisons journalists with polonium. Gee, can't think of any reasons
He came across as someone that firmly believes his own lies which makes him so dangerous. Sadly looking at some of the comments on here and a huge amount of comments on other videos a lot of people are unable to see through it and are more than happy to forgive his past commentary that proved to be demonstrably false. We wont be invading Ukraine for example......
For decent Russians Putin is so unacceptable that they are driven into exile, away from their homeland, either in their minds or in deed. All sympathy for Russia’s misfortune in 1941 all vanished.
Why was this interview bad and a joke. I don’t understand why ppl are upset about it. Not trying to stir things up just an objective observer from somewhere in the middle that can’t seem to make sense of the right and left nut jobs screaming about who I need to hate.
No commentator foresaw that the effect of the interview will be muted by a history lecture. Even far right kids have limited attention span. "Finally we can hear Putin's side!" 3 minutes later: "... Uh huh... What's on Instagram?"
@@klubberzvonhatzenbuhl563 Well, most likely. Much of it will be made into a slick, consumable format; from most garbage you can edit together some very reasonable things. We live in the age where the greatest enemy of the politician if they do _not_ edit them.
Great analysis. You have a peculiarly good brain, Vlad, for squeezing out that extra 10% of possible truths out of a situation. This is just my opinion of course. Putin is like a northern Hunter Gatherer meeting for the first time a group of Yamnaya herders on the steppes of Ukraine in 3000 BC. Putin's hunting strategies seem dated and non-flexible: "Here it is. We all want meat. Kill the animals and get the meat. IS THAT NOT WHAT WE ALL WANT? What else could you want? You just pretend to enjoy your nomadic lifestyle with your herds....but all you want to do ultimately is EAT MEAT!" Any person with an iota of sophistication can see that life is much more subtle than this. Beauty, love, intellectual discourse, horticulture, creative pastimes, mathematics, molecular machinery, artificial intelligence, new anti-aging science, genetics....these things are as important as eating meat. Putin is in danger of greatly under-estimating the average westerner. I was recently at Munich airport. Putin should go there and tremble. The planning, the brutal conception-powers and finishing powers of many western powers are ill understood by this old man in the Kremlin sitting on silly ceremony amongst his aging Demographic and oil-based time bomb. Putin is like a frog being boiled slowly. He is not aware of the stage of the process. He feels slightly uncomfortable but does not realise how close his end is. He feels the heat and thinks it is just duplicity. From Ireland.
I would really love to get your views on NAFO, Vlad. Your work is amazing! When this is over I'm going to support you but currently all my spare goes to Ukraine Armed Forces. tucker is just a naive man-child! This interview is a total flop with putino's portrayal of history is seriously distorted!
@@renstein8210 of course! Looks like some entity doesn't like my comments. If you had been subject to russian aggression with your home being shelled with your family in it I'm sure you'd have a different view. I have close friends on the front!
Completely agree - it was a mockery and a pure sound horn for Putin. Tucker was obviously dictated to by Putin and it could have been so much better if Tucker was left to his own devices. It would be interesting to see how many words Putin spoke as opposed to Tucker (Putin certainly likes the sound of his own voice).
Did Tucker not get enough opportunities to slag of America? Did he not have sufficient opportunities to nod sagely and say "So true, so wise, the World needs more leaders like you". What amazes me is how many serious people discussed the upcoming interview as if Carlson were a journalist and had the vaguest interest in truth.
So what can be done about the people in the West who celebrate this inteview as the pinnacle of journalism, and purr in comment sections that they wish they'd be ruled by Putin? I mean I know their opinion is so wrong factually that it can only be described as self-delusion, but how to break the spell?
To show them not Moscow or other large cities in Russia, but the impoverished regions that were OK in the USSR, but lost the factories and many other government businesses with plenty of employees.
For me, the most interesting moment in Tucker's interview of Putin came when Tucker specifically asked Putin if Russia might invade Poland or Latvia. There is a small strip of land along the border between Poland and Lithuania from the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad to Russian colony Belarus. Russia has a major port and military bases in Kaliningrad. Russia used to transport goods through Lithuania by truck to Kaliningrad, but now transit is restricted due to (absolutely reasonable) security concerns from Poland and Lithuania. So Putin says that Russia has no interests in Poland and Latvia. Well, that’s untrue, but it is absolutely untrue that Russia has no interests in capturing a strip of land in Lithuania to link Kaliningrad to Belarus. So getting back to this discussion- what if trump wins the USA presidency and says that NATO does nothing for the USA. Then Putin invades and occupies southern Lithuania- just a smalls trip of land. Trump might say that this is insignificant and not worth fighting for. Maybe other nato countries would not want to send troops. Poland and Latvia would want to come to the aid of Lithuania, which is why Putin says he would only attack those countries if they attacked Russia first. He made no mention of Lithuania. So I believe there is a propagandist grain of truth here. Putin wants Trump to win, NATO to be fractured, and then he wants to occupy southern Lithuania without Poland or Latvia intervening. He would pick Lithuania not Poland because Poland has a much bigger population and a bigger army than Lithuania. Before the 2014 occupation of Crimea, Putin and his allied propagandists talked for years about how Ukraine is a hostile fake country. Militarist dictators often allude to their imperialist plans years before they invade foreign countries. In this case, I think it is possible that Putin himself scripted this question and crafted the answer deliberately to mention Latvia and Poland but not Lithuania since he precisely would want to occupy a small strip of Lithuania, and he would want to convey that he would leave Poland and Latvia alone unless they came to the aid of Lithuania's defense. Then, if he would be successful in getting away with this without a combined response from NATO, Putin would eventually build up his army for a continued occupation of Lithuania and then Latvia and Estonia. Hitler similarly invaded and occupied territories in Europe in stages. He first annexed the Sudetenland from the Czechoslovakia. Then he announced (quoting Wikipedia) that the Sudetenland was "the last territorial demand I have to make in Europe". He also stated that he had told Chamberlain, "I have assured him further that, and this I repeat here before you, once this issue has been resolved, there will no longer be any further territorial problems for Germany in Europe!" Then Hitler managed to sign the Munich Agreement with France and the UK (and others), recognizing Germany's annexation of the Sudetenland and promising no further German territorial conquests. With the non-intervention and inaction of the surrounding countries and major European military powers, Hitler continued to build up the German army, and the following year, Germany invaded Poland. Of course, Germany also secretly signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact with the Soviet Union, and then the Soviet Union also invaded Poland. This is important because even DAYS before the 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Putin said that he would not invade Ukraine. Then he invaded Ukraine. Now he is saying that he would not attack Latvia or Poland because he would precisely want to invade Lithuania next and secure non-intervention agreements from Poland, Latvia and other European countries until he could build up his army further and continue to invade all the Baltic states. Putin would 100% do this if he could get away with it.
Jailing journalists, that's going to make conservatives like you more. Why exactly would conservatives not like Russia if leftists are just as authoritarian in addition to disagreeing with all our fundamental values

A flop with 100 million views in less than 24 hours😂😂😂😂😂😂 and still counting my friend that one video will get more views than every single video you have done in the past and future combined 😂😂😂 no hate just facts that is no flop! your opinion and judgement on the interview however major flop and I just watched 43 seconds before writing this😅 now let’s continue the other 8 minutes for more giggles hehe I love hearing other individuals views as I said no hate but bruh come on FLOP REALLY 😂😂 gonna get yourself more views than normal so I suppose your using your head, which is smart in a way but actually quite dumb if you really believe it 😅
We live in a world of 3 word political slogans and 15 second sound-bites. People who watch UA-cam videos are time poor, and they are impatient. This particularly applies to the MAGA Republicans. This monologue from Putin was not an interview. It was a long history lecture. And very tedious it was. It made Tucker Carlson look very foolish. I would give it zero out of ten as an interview. It gets the prize for dullness, irrelevance and tedium. It also lacks any decent questions of Puutin.
Thanks Vlad, I don't think I could have sat through three hours of Putin and Tucker Carlson. Why am I not surprised that an interview with Putin turned into a lecture?
Apparently he likes to lecture Americans on his version of history. Every phone call he had with Obama started with a 45 minute history lecture , according to aides, since he thinks every Western leader is stupid. It seems obvious to me he’s the dumb one .
Well said. I watched it. It was interesting. But yeah...a great lecture. There were no really tough questions for Putin. But there would have been some. 😅 Like: "You are talking about the war with the word "war". Many other of your people are sitting in jail or maybe siberia because they used the same language and words just like you! Why?" Or his 'not so beloved political partner' who then got poisoned...Tucker could had mentioned it. But he didn't. But of course I understand him...maybe overwhelmed by the Kreml.... it's not a good place maybe to ask tough questions. 😂
You'd rather watch this guy wearing his overweight aunt's sweater. He feeds all your preconceived notions. Putin forces you to think which hurts the two brain cells in your head bumping together
The fact that my country (Poland) is mentioned like 40 times in this interview makes me kind of proud ;-) Also, the 'XIII century oppression of Ukrainians' was kind of hilarious as Poland at that time was even more to the West than today (so did not even overlap with contemporary Ukraine.
i have watched around 15minutes. I couldn't any longer, when Putin said that Poland was working with Nazis? I mean how warped your understanding of history must be?
Poland didn't work with Nazis but some Poles did. There's always far-right elements willing to work with fascists in every country. In many cases, antisemitism trumped everything else in Romania and Poland.
Yes, i gues it is a mater of how you frame it@@bigbeautifulape5283 All countires have radicals, and other countries try to use these as an excuse to do unspeakable things. In Lithuania, some Russians were discriminated against, after the war started. However there is no reason to suggest systemic racism, however the Kremlin did surely spin narrative, that ALL Lithuanian Russians, are oppressed by Nazi government, when in reality there was just a bunch of hooligans doing graffiti.
The fact that you can summarize a 2-hour interview so quickly and effectively might reflect the emptiness of Carlson and Putin. Putin pulling out specific dates is just hilarious!
Your completely utterly wrong in your concept of soveriegnty. Its not some abstract thing disembodied from real power. And the only reason continentals think so is that so far they have been shielded by USA power which is going away. This is a really dangerous misunderstanding. Litchestien or even Greenland or even the UK cant be soveriegn because they dont have large populations , self sufficient complex economies that will support victorious armies. So small countries like Canada or the UK or Australia ally with the USA which does have the power and scale to be soveriegn. The whole point of this struggle with Russia is that the North Korea , Russia , iran China axis might evolve into an economic and military unit that could overwhelm the USA and its Auxiliaries. But no your concept of soveriegnty is wrong. To the extent one relies on the military power of another country as Canada relied on Britain to that extent your sovereignty and safety and freedom of action is lost. We paid a terrible price for being weak new post colonials despite having a fairly benevolent hegemon in London. When ever the UK wanted USA favour it would slice off a piece of British North America and give it to the USA. And at some point we lost the potential to be equal to the USA. At the end of the 1776 civil war we still controlled what the USA calls the northwest territories , the Ohio etc till about 1792. Britain sacrificed what is now Oregon and Washington state to the USA. The USA not Canada too Hawaii which had been British Territory. On it goes we got the watershed of Hudson Bay but lost what is north and south dakota and part of Minnesota. Britiain handed us the Arctic Archipelago in 1880 . Sovereignty cant exist with out a victorious military a strong military and the population and industrial base to support it . And if you lack that you have to support a hegemon and your capacity for dissent or molding decisions is limited. In the British Empire and the USA system we did have minor influence. In this ridiculous bloated Nato we have none at all. We were a significant ally in WW 2 and our influence was in proportion to our production of wheat and steel and armoured vehicles and warships. We also by the way contibuted to creating the atom bomb with the UK and USA. In law , the original inhabitants of the land have an aboriginal right affirmed by the proclamation of 1763...but the legal concept is ancient. But they are NOT soveriegn , if they make an unjust war on the crown their rights pass to the crown. In that case conquest establishes sovereignty and our natives were often very cautious about making war on us. The British crown stepped into the system made by France in 1759 including alliances with the natives who were functionally sovereign. The defeat of Pontiac and then the defeat of Tecumseh in the war of 1812 on the Thames river ended native sovereignty. Sovereignty only exists if you have an army that can win.
I've heard no commentary or spin on personal political points scored by Carlson on the American audience, except that Carlson imagines himself to be Trump's running mate. Did this angle work for Carlson? I steer clear of right wing US media, but interested in your take.

I truly believe now what General SVR since October is claiming...that Putin died by the end of October. The interview yesterday was a cumulus of nonsense and lies. It is indeed a double and the real one would never agree to that kind of interview. 100%.
Hey Vlad, you have 5000 videos sucking on war and "Russia bad" topics, but nothing on dementia ruled opposite side of things and Europe. Makes me think you're another biased blogger funded by those you don't talk about. Can you please prove the opposite and post something on that matter? Thanks!

To call it an interview is a bit of a stretch to start with. This was just an opportunity to release the bots and trolls on all comment boxes of all social media platforms around the world

Yeah ,but now we know for sure that putin is raving ...so often people think there is a rationale behind his beliefs somewhere but now we know .. all those that cry out for negotiations will reLise ,you can't negotiate with someone who isn't present to himself ,let alone anyone else !
Yeah, I myself subscribed to the British (Russell Brand turned Ruzzian Brand) and Indian (Amit Sengupta, but this one stepped back some time ago and didn't cover several months). Bots under their posts are multiplying so fast, just like bacteria in the lab 🤢
So people ARE aware most interactions with people that have a positive opinion of russia and their warmongering are fake? Comments like yours need to be TOP comment all the time because the people who don't know are exactly the ones who get influenced by bots.
Go to CNN, Fox, DW or any other news channel. You will get downvoted, your comment gets deleted, yet somehow you will still get tons of notifications of bots that simp for Putin. Worst thing is that it's facilitated by platforms in the west. On the one hand they want to engage with comments; on the other hand they don't do enough to counter disinformation.

@@VladVexlerChat That sweater looks like a hot chocolate, warm fire, and a good novel. I think it could handle Yakutsk. thx Vlad.
Yeah I agree that it was surprisingly poor! He really felt like a sad old man rather than a powerful super intelligent 4d chess player. It’s a tragedy that so many have died rather than a few relatives getting annoyed over a cantankerous Christmas dinner - “yeah grandad, we get it the West is being super unfair on you 😂”. There’s too many old confused people hanging on in politics these days. Of course Putin has no choice… I can’t remember if it was this channel said that being a dictator is like holding onto the ears of a wolf, the only thing worse than continuing to hold on is letting go.
"I could have made this speech 10x more destructive." I believe it, and am glad that our most competent ally in this struggle is their sheer incompetence.
Had Putin convinced us that he wasn't into living that would be scary. But he's very much into his continued existence.
@@AstroGremlinAmerican That is slightly reassuring LOL !
@@AstroGremlinAmerican Maybe because he is not as bad as the establishment media makes him out to be. Russia SHOULD take back Ukraine because Ukraine is a NAZI STATE
"We are very lucky that they are so fucking stupid."
- That wise and fedup soldier, March 2022.
Whilst I believe this is true and I did find it odd that he didn't go in deeper when given many open goals by Tucker I do wonder if this is by design. Putin isn't stupid, though I don't think he's a mastermind strategist either, but at the moment the US by not passing military aid bills for Ukraine (which ironically is actually giving them older munitions whilst the money actually goes on updating America's arsenal and keeps American companies doing well) is doing exactly what he wants and if he has gone in hard on the US he might have convinced me Americans that this needs to change.
He already has his lackeys in the Republican Party and Trump saying everything he wants to hear so why risk any of this when he knows if aid doesn't come Russia will take more and more of Ukraine. It's very sad to see what is happening in the US happening and even though I found this interview very odd just having it happen I think he sees as a win for him.
Since the beginning of the war, there was a well-known meme where Lukashenko tried to show everyone a map where Ukraine was preparing an attack, but mister Pu overmeme him by passing to an freeze Karlson a folder with Khmelnytskyi's letters.😂😂😂
Tucker would have interviewed Hitler in 1944, and tried to persuade Americans to make peace with him.
Could explain, your highness Fuhrer Why you feel the need to invade Poland and burn the Jewish people? Thank you, now i understand your point of vieux. They had it coming!
I personally see Tucker as a grifter, like Solovyov; he is fully aware that everything he says on TV and social media is B.S. and is just in it for the money.
I don't see why interviewing Hitler would have been a bad thing. Journalists are supposed to seek out the viewpoints of different folk. Yes it was reeking of propaganda but I'm happy it exists. When making decisions, one should see and hear as much information as possible. Just because you listened to what someone has to say, doesn't mean you agree with all, or indeed any of it. In fact, if you want good life advice, you'll often learn a lot more about yourself or the subject, when reading a book you dont agree with. Consuming only material we already agree with is precisely what leads to the polarized echo chamber modern social media and politics is.
What? Do you really think he did that?

It was like watching a hobo rant to someone waiting for a bus

Tucker looked bored titless it was hilarious. Having said that he ALWAYS looks like he just shit himself
But you have to remember who his intended audience was... the American Maga types.. he waffled so innocently that he was making it look like all he wanted was a tea-party in Ukraine by the gentle giant Russia..and to save them from the oppressive Nazi state in which no one has any rights and don't understand that they are really Russian...
...and on the day it was announced that the opposition candidate would not allowed to run against Putin in the election in Russia... 😂 So much for defending freedom.and rights huh..😊
But Tucker's audience will have swallowed everything Putin said hook line and sinker...
😆
Tucker always looks like a dog watching a tennis match.
His part about Poland in WW2 was very interesting, he said Poland did not compromise with Hitler over Danzig and therefore he had no choice but to invade Poland. Not only does this demonstrate a fundamental misunderstanding of WW2, and also undermines his view of "might makes right" and moral indifference, he basically says Hitler was right/didn't do anything wrong. Which is not what I expected from this to say the least.
I agree, it was a strange moment.
Poor Boy Hitler couldn't do anything else boo boo 😢
He apparently hates Natzis but somehow loves and admires then too - it is weird. Basically he would have loved them if they didn't happen to be German rather than Russian I think!! 🤔 Basically the only problerm with them is that they were German
Its his kgb world view. his brain is damaged forever. gettin a 18 year old lover when 45 years old says all about morals
Prob meant to vindicate USSR from Molotov-Ribbentrop
Tucker desperately tried to placate to Putin with his questions but Putin was so unhinged that he made him look bad anyway, it was honestly hilarious.

@@joech1065 Mr.Vexler himself is a master.
Tucker: "Why did you invade Ukraine?"
putin: "In the beginning, God created the Earth...."
The interview was comedy gold. putin's lack of self-awareness was stunning.
The real question is how the average American interprets this interview. That's what frightens me as a European.
I am an American. I am not sure what an average American is, but I don’t think most Americans are even aware that this interview took place, nor do they care.
Not the average US citizen, the average MAGA guy. The way Putin showed his disdain for religion was maybe quite important here.
The average MAGA just keeps droning on and on about how NATO is costing them money. They are pretty stupid and lack any insight into economics or Geopolitics.
What frightens me as an American is that the US is the largest producer of Oil and LNG but we fight the Middle East so Europe can have cheap oil prices. What frightens me is EUROPE has started two world wars and literally dragged America into both just so 80 years later cry baby Europeans can call Americans war mongers! 8 of the top 10 Universities in the world are in the US. We're not dumb we just don't give a shit about Europe
The average American has an attention span related to the length of a tik tok video so you have nothing to fear from the interview. What you do need to be concerned about is the degree to which the right-wing mediasphere controls our discourse and the Democratic party can't produce a better candidate than Biden. Any American is going to have fathers or brothers who served in Europe and grandfathers and great-grandfathers who fought there. The possibility of the US abandoning Europe like after 1918 is remote in the extreme despite Putin's blather and Trump or not.
I didn't watch the interview myself, because... c'mon! But I've read Putin blamed Poland for ww2. What did he say, why? Was Poland wearing a miniskirt?
if you think that's bad, Putin's been saying the united states didn't help at all in WW2 for about 6 or 7 years now
It dared to exist.
Starlin made a peace pact with Hitler which of course Hitler ignored when he felt the time was right
@@moonasha Charles de Gaulle said similar, that it was only himself that liberated France and placed France among the victors of World War II. As for Putin, I guess the Soviets reneging on their repayment of US Lend-Lease after WWII means it never existed. To all those who served on the Artic convoys, shame on Putin.
USSR invaded Poland 17 days after Germany and committed Katyn massacre of Polish people in 1940.
The Ramblings of Bunker Grandad, before he disappeared up his own fundamental.
Well Said💋
That Putin disappears is a plausible path to someone replacing him who will take the same view of Ukraine.@@oceanade
It is a bit scary though, because Hitler also “rambled” a lot of nonsense before WW2, including in his book. People dismissed it, but then he tried to implement even the most nonsensical of his ideas, multiplying them by a thousand. When reading The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, it was incredible to me how much of what Hitler did he foreshadowed, but the world didn't respond it adequately, because they didn't expect that he was actually for real.

Ah, yes. Take your word for it random internet stranger. Completely defeating the point and further adding to the ignorance that western media wants to keep the peasants in.
Bravo, sir. You're a shill and sheep. Follow the flock over the cliff.
I think it was great.
I don't think Putin reached anyone in Tucker's audience. The vast majority of Twitter followers can't absorb a message of over 140 characters. A half hour lecture on Russian history. Oh please. Most of Trump's followers couldn't sit thru of half hour of American history.
Touche'. Carlson said that most Americans can't find Ukraine on a map. Most Americans can't find the US on a map.
Someone assessed that Putin mainly spoke to his own folks in this interview, but also tried to help out Trump for his own sake.
Biden followers couldn't handle crisp pronunciation and coherent sentences.
Wrong, and in this Putin is correct, the western world leadership has undermined the wealth and freedom of its own people and have embraced war. Have refused to sit at the negotiation table, after the west created the war themselves by failing to adhere to agreements they themselves concocted.
Bravo! Well said!
Not an interview: just a sycophantic grovel by Carlson. Very noble of you to watch to the end to save the sanity of the rest of us
That’s why I watch Vlad and not the actual ”interview”
To be honest, I find it insanely hilarious that Tucker desperately tried to placate to Putin with his questions but Putin's view is so unhinged that he made him look bad anyway.
It's more than just groveling by Carlson. Another poster commented that this gave Putin an opportunity to vent to Western audiences and Carlson a chance to play an important person. Here we are talking about Carlson like he's something other than a racist hack and Putin like he's not a murderer with something useful to say. You see what I mean?
I think this a great observation, that it could've been made so much "better" and more destructive. And I think that's revealing in itself, as it indicates that Putin is winging it in semi-isolation. Yes, he prepares, but he doesn't prepare as head of a great influence operation with great advisers.
Very true, imagine if an educator such as a "dark" Vlad had been there to coach Putin! Also Putin completely misunderstood Carlson's audience, eg, if the audience is shallow UN world order etc wouldnt be interested in RuZZian history at all.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one laughing
First he lays out the thousand year history of the country he's claiming doesn't exist
Then claims the West was mean to him. Which led to the best line of the night, when Tucker responded with an actually insightful "You're obviously bitter about it..." 😅 to which an I'm sure annoyed Putin had to say "no no no"
Another doozy was him sympathizing with Hitler over Poland stubbornly refusing to be conquered by him even when he asked nicely. So Hitler had to invade 🤷♂️ Kinda like Putin and Ukraine? Smh
And the topping on the cake were the two 5 minute infomercials for China lololol
This playbook is revealed in the book "Utopia" by Thomas More. They claim to abhor war, including a list of reasons for going to war, some seem noble; to help a friendly nation, but it includes "to get that thing which the neighbor refused to give" or (page 83) "for they account it a very just cause of war for a nation to hinder others from possessing a part of that soil of which they make no use," in other words, if I can make better use of your land, than you are making of your land, I will take it.

Freakshow
In fairness, Putin asked Tucker if he wants serious conversation or a talk show. Serious talk requires serious analysis so a lot of information was being presented which is always a good thing. If Tucker wanted a talk show, Putin could have presented short answers that he knew would be popular amongst audience. But that would neither bring anyone closer to understanding the current situation, nor it would be Presidential of him.
Putin presented part of what type of knowledge is required for being considered a serious global political figure.
- The first part is the history of Russia. You maybe wish he was talking about the history of the state of Ukraine, but that one did not exist and is country of recent history. He basically painted a picture that most of Ukrainians are Russian in origin.
- Russia won WWII, it was only natural for it to be included into global security instead of being targeted by NATO. With refusals of NATO to include Russia, Russia is in the right to conclude that NATO is anti Russian block. It is obvious.
- it is not sympathizing with Hitler, it is analyzing Hitler's way of thinking towards Poland back in the day. Russia was only sympathizing with Checkoslovakia being attacked by Hitler and Poland and that was one of the reasons why Russia also attacked Poland when Hitler did.
- what is untrue in what Putin said about China?
Finally, is there anything untrue in anything Putin said?

My sentiments, precisely.
Thank You Vlad! As a Latvian, it did get me nervous when he mentioned Latvia. Putin lies when he opens his mouth so singling out Latvia and Poland did seem worrisome.
Maybe he is worried that Latvia is taking steps to de-Russify its own country and this was on his mind. He has mastered the process of deception
Poland and Baltic states should unite in order to make him tweak. For some reasons Russians still fear Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth. It's been centuries since Poland was a superpower but Putin still thinks we matter a lot smh
He knows he can't invade Latvia or Poland because that would be all out war with NATO.
As for now, he doesn´t "have an interest" in your country, but you as well as a finn like me knows that could be a very different story if he succeeds in Ukraine.

My subjective take- Russo-victimization is utterly fascinating to me. I've had conversations with Russian citizens, and certain parts of the citizenry are just completely under the spell of this victim mindset. It always ties back to the World Wars and the horrible things that happened to the Russo-citizens of the time period.
I agree what happened in Russia was horrific, but we are now generations away from the wars and the need to feel victimized in certain parts of the modern day population is bizarre.
Sometimes, it appears to me that Russia is one of the very few countries that never really started moving forward after the wars ended. Maybe some Russians are still fighting those wars.
You nailed it! So did the Serbs when Yugoslavia split.
Victimhood is attractive because anyone who contradicts you is obviously in on the unfair treatment.
Moving forward😂😂😂 and where's it YOU call FORward?
So, we can move forward the holocaust ? Or 9/11 ? Or slavery ?
As a Russian myself, I agree. I used to have the same type of thinking, but I was able to look critically into it. But I see this attitude around me and it bothers me a lot. It’s a huge problem and the core for other problems
This Tucker Carlson interview was honestly a gift to show how insanely out of touch and Don Quixote-esque Putin is.

I think the part where Putin went on to defend the Nazis invasion of Poland, or at least justify it is worth it alone as it shows how bullshit the claims of this war being about “denazification” is.
There’s no point in debating with delusional people. Putin has nothing interesting to say.
Go away little goldfish
Get bent star fish @@larryc5361
Same goes for Trump. But at least he occasionally has some entertainment value.
"There’s no point in debating with delusional people"
Your mileage varies. When the delusional person has nuclear weapons the "point" is to find out when, where and why he would use them. If you simply decide he's the enemy, well, he appears to have decided YOU are and then it's war.
exept for his own matrix version of Eastern Europe's history with Russia.
In Sweden, we call this, verbal diarrhea.... :D
There's an actual word, logorrhea.

Putin is a joke 😂😂😂 He said he wasn't going to invade Ukraine but he did. 😂😂😂 Latvia and the rest should better beef up their defence and deterrent measures
"Putin is a joke"
With nuclear weapons.
@@thomasmaughan4798 what crap. No one with a brain would actually use them. His petroleum is more impressive
@@thomasmaughan4798 Effectively that’s all he’s got. If he didn’t have nukes, western intervention would have been overwhelming and this war would have ended in Moscow long ago. Then the Russian people could have had their Nazi germany moment and moved on to become a peaceful, prosperous, respected nation.
@ philips3352 , and we (Britain and America) invaded Iraq all on a lie, killing thousands of women and children, did you forget that.
@@marymarlow3646 "western intervention would have been overwhelming and this war would have ended in Moscow long ago."
Likely so.
"moved on to become a peaceful, prosperous, respected nation."
Russia was rapidly becoming exactly that up to a couple of years ago. I very much wanted the awesome Russian TX-500 radio from Lab 599 but they could not manufacture enough of them for the demand. Astronauts reached the ISS (International space station) on Russian rockets.

"Thank you for watching the interview so I didn't have to" if you want to know what the interview was about just watch the interview, this is one persons summary and opinion and your not actually going to get a full picture of the interview
Thank you Vlad for sitting through two hours of crazy nonsense to talk to us about it 😁❤️
Haha same thing happened to me Vlad, I started watching the interview and about 15 minutes in, I just had to laugh out loud. FIrst of all at the utter incompetence of Putin to start with a 30 minute history lecture on stuff no Western listener cares about, but then also at the absolute pathetic whining that was present in every sentence. The mind of a child, trapped in the body of an ultra rich and powerful czar. And then Tucker's look whenever he was shown. Isn't he aware that his "I'm listening to every word intensely"-look could be a cave man parody instead?
What a bizarre disaster.
I started laughing 3 minutes in, when he mentioned "Prince Rurik". For one, no American or Western viewer will be able to stand that, and two - the disconnect between the question and the answer was hilarious at that point. He could only be funnier if he decided to do some ball-juggling as his answer. Possibly, with invisible balls 😄.
I watched the interview and found it very enlightening. It's not that I found Putin sympathetic, but we learned a great deal about what motivates him. Overall, I would say that Tucker has done us a great service... something that the corporate media has utterly failed to do.
Thank you Vlad. Love your content.
Please consider doing a piece on the accuracy of the history lecture that Putin did.
As Carlson mentioned before the interview part of the video, the history part of the interview was to provide the context and timeline of what did happen. It would really be great to get an accuracy check, because Vlad did say, the dates mentioned by Putin are wrong. In what way are they wrong?
Mind you, Putin advertised what he wants you to think to be his thoughts on the matter. ( At best assume these to be political motivated, his chess game.) Putin will never disclose his true toughts.
I agree - I think quite a few of these comments are forgetting that the US knows very little about Putin (and we can’t trust our media).
@@wouterke9871
I got two big "takeaways" from the interview, if you'll allow me a crude analogy.
1. Putin is like the abusive husband who beat his wife half to death and then blames it on his wife, saying, "see what you made me do".
2. He accuses the US and more specifically the CIA of all sorts of nefarious activities, including manipulation, coercion, election interference, and coup d'etat, which I'm sure is likely true. What he failed to mention is that Russia does exactly the same things. As an American, I view these kinds of activities to be as Russian as vodka! Putin comes off as a man who's upset because he's losing at a game which he considers himself to be a world champion of. So... he's tossing the whole chess board on the floor, saying, see what you made me do?
It would be laughable if it weren't so tragic.
@@BigIN0 That would be a great little project for someone in Vlad’s beautiful community to undertake for him. Sort of a Valentine’s Day gift!
"I could have made Putin's speech 10x more destructive than it was".
Now I'm morbidly curious to see a Vlad Vexler evil tyrant spin-off channel.
evil Vlad Vexler be like "hello ugly community, today I am going to explain how to destroy our democratic institutions by tethering them to the practiced vice of untruthfulness"
He sounds more confusing than modern liberal women trying to describe what is a woman.

Reminds me of the time I tried to stay awake for Halleys Comet, lots of anticipation but fell asleep before it got interesting.

Carlson is talking about the weather with a mob boss. Not really an interview at all, not even a conversation.
As expected. The job was done BEFORE the interview, hyping it up to fever pitch.

So many Maga people were really looking forward to the interview to finally get the "truth" and confirm their long held suspicions.

@@AllanBurkinshaw-xo7gm Jeffrey Sachs, col Douglas macgregor informed us long time ago though!
I agree that the interview was a total flop for both of them. In Tucker's defense though, I think he was intimidated by the fact that he was in a totalitarian country interviewing a psychopath. If he pressed Putin too hard then he would have been charged with espionage. The video would have never been released and he would be in a Russian gulag.
Well said! 👍
And all I would say with that outcome is good riddance, karma is a bitch.
"...he would have been charged with espionage." That would have been so funny!
@@diane9247 True dat! 😆
And that would be a bad outcome? He probably had to have all of the questions vetted in advance. I don’t think they would have jailed him if he had departed from the script. If Carlson had the balls, he could have sprung some zingers on Putin. Not his agenda, though. Two increasingly irrelevant people trying to increase their currency by being in the same room.
The interview revealed that neither Putin nor Carlson are particularly intelligent. I am glad it was conducted.
Whether he is smart or not, Carlson's signature move is to just stare back with a dumbfounded look when someone he is interviewing says something incredibly stupid and illogical. My guess is that he was hoping to hit paydirt, but just ended up going over a played out stretch of old tailings.
I didn't have a very high opinion of Tucker before, but now I think he can go to hell. Complete asshole.
Compared to who - you?
You are an infant compared to them.
Well said!
6:50 After watching the whole thing, I think he rejected the opportunity because he saw it as below him to openly try to manipulate Western citizens and sow more distrust.
He tried to sound sincere and sober with a few gaslighting attempts, but all in all the goal of the interview seemed to be to give a general justification to the world, or to future historians, and to explain his wisdom to all the people who would surely hang on his lips for hours. Russia would remain the misunderstood victim anyway, and wouldn’t lose anyway, no need to accomodate anybody.
Thank you Vlad. I had made a mental health decision not to watch it. I appreciate that you did.
Good decision.
Wtf is wrong with you ppl. Witch it yourself without someone telling you what you should think.
There was actually not a lot of new information and if you were someone that really looks into things you’d come away with a different opinion one this whole mess
You should not rely on others to interpret important information. Even though Vlad did an excellent job of presenting what transpired, you don't really know that.
@@rc8770 Any "conversation" between a thug and a hypocrite with a predictable outcome is worth missing. And in Vlad we trust - he has a proven track record. Although, I wouldn't trust him to chose my sweaters.

Well only inteligent people can understand this interview.
how can you say its a never ending joke of an interview if you couldn't even bear more than 10 minutes of it?
No commentator foresaw that the effect of the interview will be muted by a history lecture. Even far right kids have limited attention span. "Finally we can hear Putin's side!" 3 minutes later: "... Uh huh... What's on Instagram?"
Rightwingers didn’t even listen to the ‘history lesson’. They just agreed with it without understanding the context.

Love this analysis Vlad, i got bored very quickly and threw the towel in after 10 mins
Cheers for this. I'd love to see someone do a thorough fact check of this speech.
Tucker's Ad for Musk's, money making scheme, played before Vlad's Video.
Great analysis. You have a peculiarly good brain, Vlad, for squeezing out that extra 10% of possible truths out of a situation. This is just my opinion of course. Putin is like a northern Hunter Gatherer meeting for the first time a group of Yamnaya herders on the steppes of Ukraine in 3000 BC. Putin's hunting strategies seem dated and non-flexible: "Here it is. We all want meat. Kill the animals and get the meat. IS THAT NOT WHAT WE ALL WANT? What else could you want? You just pretend to enjoy your nomadic lifestyle with your herds....but all you want to do ultimately is EAT MEAT!"
Any person with an iota of sophistication can see that life is much more subtle than this. Beauty, love, intellectual discourse, horticulture, creative pastimes, mathematics, molecular machinery, artificial intelligence, new anti-aging science, genetics....these things are as important as eating meat. Putin is in danger of greatly under-estimating the average westerner. I was recently at Munich airport. Putin should go there and tremble. The planning, the brutal conception-powers and finishing powers of many western powers are ill understood by this old man in the Kremlin sitting on silly ceremony amongst his aging Demographic and oil-based time bomb. Putin is like a frog being boiled slowly. He is not aware of the stage of the process. He feels slightly uncomfortable but does not realise how close his end is. He feels the heat and thinks it is just duplicity. From Ireland.
I would really love to get your views on NAFO, Vlad. Your work is amazing! When this is over I'm going to support you but currently all my spare goes to Ukraine Armed Forces. tucker is just a naive man-child! This interview is a total flop with putino's portrayal of history is seriously distorted!

Dear Vlad, tyvm for sacrificing yourself. I would have never watched this crap myself.
Completely agree - it was a mockery and a pure sound horn for Putin. Tucker was obviously dictated to by Putin and it could have been so much better if Tucker was left to his own devices.
It would be interesting to see how many words Putin spoke as opposed to Tucker (Putin certainly likes the sound of his own voice).
Did Tucker not get enough opportunities to slag of America? Did he not have sufficient opportunities to nod sagely and say "So true, so wise, the World needs more leaders like you". What amazes me is how many serious people discussed the upcoming interview as if Carlson were a journalist and had the vaguest interest in truth.
So what can be done about the people in the West who celebrate this inteview as the pinnacle of journalism, and purr in comment sections that they wish they'd be ruled by Putin?
I mean I know their opinion is so wrong factually that it can only be described as self-delusion, but how to break the spell?
To show them not Moscow or other large cities in Russia, but the impoverished regions that were OK in the USSR, but lost the factories and many other government businesses with plenty of employees.
Ты знаешь? Где факты ? Болтун
For me, the most interesting moment in Tucker's interview of Putin came when Tucker specifically asked Putin if Russia might invade Poland or Latvia.
There is a small strip of land along the border between Poland and Lithuania from the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad to Russian colony Belarus. Russia has a major port and military bases in Kaliningrad. Russia used to transport goods through Lithuania by truck to Kaliningrad, but now transit is restricted due to (absolutely reasonable) security concerns from Poland and Lithuania.
So Putin says that Russia has no interests in Poland and Latvia. Well, that’s untrue, but it is absolutely untrue that Russia has no interests in capturing a strip of land in Lithuania to link Kaliningrad to Belarus.
So getting back to this discussion- what if trump wins the USA presidency and says that NATO does nothing for the USA. Then Putin invades and occupies southern Lithuania- just a smalls trip of land. Trump might say that this is insignificant and not worth fighting for. Maybe other nato countries would not want to send troops.
Poland and Latvia would want to come to the aid of Lithuania, which is why Putin says he would only attack those countries if they attacked Russia first. He made no mention of Lithuania.
So I believe there is a propagandist grain of truth here. Putin wants Trump to win, NATO to be fractured, and then he wants to occupy southern Lithuania without Poland or Latvia intervening. He would pick Lithuania not Poland because Poland has a much bigger population and a bigger army than Lithuania.
Before the 2014 occupation of Crimea, Putin and his allied propagandists talked for years about how Ukraine is a hostile fake country. Militarist dictators often allude to their imperialist plans years before they invade foreign countries. In this case, I think it is possible that Putin himself scripted this question and crafted the answer deliberately to mention Latvia and Poland but not Lithuania since he precisely would want to occupy a small strip of Lithuania, and he would want to convey that he would leave Poland and Latvia alone unless they came to the aid of Lithuania's defense. Then, if he would be successful in getting away with this without a combined response from NATO, Putin would eventually build up his army for a continued occupation of Lithuania and then Latvia and Estonia.
Hitler similarly invaded and occupied territories in Europe in stages. He first annexed the Sudetenland from the Czechoslovakia. Then he announced (quoting Wikipedia) that the Sudetenland was "the last territorial demand I have to make in Europe". He also stated that he had told Chamberlain, "I have assured him further that, and this I repeat here before you, once this issue has been resolved, there will no longer be any further territorial problems for Germany in Europe!" Then Hitler managed to sign the Munich Agreement with France and the UK (and others), recognizing Germany's annexation of the Sudetenland and promising no further German territorial conquests. With the non-intervention and inaction of the surrounding countries and major European military powers, Hitler continued to build up the German army, and the following year, Germany invaded Poland. Of course, Germany also secretly signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact with the Soviet Union, and then the Soviet Union also invaded Poland.
This is important because even DAYS before the 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Putin said that he would not invade Ukraine. Then he invaded Ukraine. Now he is saying that he would not attack Latvia or Poland because he would precisely want to invade Lithuania next and secure non-intervention agreements from Poland, Latvia and other European countries until he could build up his army further and continue to invade all the Baltic states. Putin would 100% do this if he could get away with it.

We live in a world of 3 word political slogans and 15 second sound-bites. People who watch UA-cam videos are time poor, and they are impatient. This particularly applies to the MAGA Republicans. This monologue from Putin was not an interview. It was a long history lecture. And very tedious it was. It made Tucker Carlson look very foolish. I would give it zero out of ten as an interview. It gets the prize for dullness, irrelevance and tedium. It also lacks any decent questions of Puutin.
Thanks Vlad, I don't think I could have sat through three hours of Putin and Tucker Carlson. Why am I not surprised that an interview with Putin turned into a lecture?
Apparently he likes to lecture Americans on his version of history. Every phone call he had with Obama started with a 45 minute history lecture , according to aides, since he thinks every Western leader is stupid. It seems obvious to me he’s the dumb one .
Well said. I watched it. It was interesting. But yeah...a great lecture. There were no really tough questions for Putin. But there would have been some. 😅
Like: "You are talking about the war with the word "war". Many other of your people are sitting in jail or maybe siberia because they used the same language and words just like you! Why?"
Or his 'not so beloved political partner' who then got poisoned...Tucker could had mentioned it. But he didn't.
But of course I understand him...maybe overwhelmed by the Kreml.... it's not a good place maybe to ask tough questions. 😂
So you admit that you're just brainwashed.
Thanks Vlad, I couldnt bear to watch it myself. All the best
You'd rather watch this guy wearing his overweight aunt's sweater. He feeds all your preconceived notions. Putin forces you to think which hurts the two brain cells in your head bumping together

Great video, I'm very very glad the interview was a flop for Carlson and Putin.
The fact that my country (Poland) is mentioned like 40 times in this interview makes me kind of proud ;-)
Also, the 'XIII century oppression of Ukrainians' was kind of hilarious as Poland at that time was even more to the West than today (so did not even overlap with contemporary Ukraine.
Thanks for taking this bullet for us, Vlad. I’m trying not to do that for my mental health. I hope you are doing well yourself.
i have watched around 15minutes. I couldn't any longer, when Putin said that Poland was working with Nazis? I mean how warped your understanding of history must be?
Poland didn't work with Nazis but some Poles did. There's always far-right elements willing to work with fascists in every country. In many cases, antisemitism trumped everything else in Romania and Poland.
Yes, i gues it is a mater of how you frame it@@bigbeautifulape5283 All countires have radicals, and other countries try to use these as an excuse to do unspeakable things. In Lithuania, some Russians were discriminated against, after the war started. However there is no reason to suggest systemic racism, however the Kremlin did surely spin narrative, that ALL Lithuanian Russians, are oppressed by Nazi government, when in reality there was just a bunch of hooligans doing graffiti.
@@bigbeautifulape5283right… and the context you are giving is exactly what Putin says therefore Putin is right 🤦
@@Blondul11 I didn't say he's right or wrong, I'm just saying that this was the case.
But Poland collaborated with Nazi Germany, this is a historical fact, not at the level of individuals, but at the level of the state.
Thank God… it couldve been really really bad.
But then again; we need the wake up Call 💡💡
The fact that you can summarize a 2-hour interview so quickly and effectively might reflect the emptiness of Carlson and Putin. Putin pulling out specific dates is just hilarious!
Of course, Carlson's limited education wouldn't allow him to correct Putin on any part of history.
Your completely utterly wrong in your concept of soveriegnty. Its not some abstract thing disembodied from real power. And the only reason continentals think so is that so far they have been shielded by USA power which is going away.
This is a really dangerous misunderstanding. Litchestien or even Greenland or even the UK cant be soveriegn because they dont have large populations , self sufficient complex economies that will support victorious armies.
So small countries like Canada or the UK or Australia ally with the USA which does have the power and scale to be soveriegn. The whole point of this struggle with Russia is that the North Korea , Russia , iran China axis might evolve into an economic and military unit that could overwhelm the USA and its Auxiliaries. But no your concept of soveriegnty is wrong. To the extent one relies on the military power of another country as Canada relied on Britain to that extent your sovereignty and safety and freedom of action is lost.
We paid a terrible price for being weak new post colonials despite having a fairly benevolent hegemon in London. When ever the UK wanted USA favour it would slice off a piece of British North America and give it to the USA. And at some point we lost the potential to be equal to the USA. At the end of the 1776 civil war we still controlled what the USA calls the northwest territories , the Ohio etc till about 1792. Britain sacrificed what is now Oregon and Washington state to the USA. The USA not Canada too Hawaii which had been British Territory. On it goes we got the watershed of Hudson Bay but lost what is north and south dakota and part of Minnesota. Britiain handed us the Arctic Archipelago in 1880 .
Sovereignty cant exist with out a victorious military a strong military and the population and industrial base to support it . And if you lack that you have to support a hegemon and your capacity for dissent or molding decisions is limited. In the British Empire and the USA system we did have minor influence. In this ridiculous bloated Nato we have none at all. We were a significant ally in WW 2 and our influence was in proportion to our production of wheat and steel and armoured vehicles and warships. We also by the way contibuted to creating the atom bomb with the UK and USA.
In law , the original inhabitants of the land have an aboriginal right affirmed by the proclamation of 1763...but the legal concept is ancient. But they are NOT soveriegn , if they make an unjust war on the crown their rights pass to the crown. In that case conquest establishes sovereignty and our natives were often very cautious about making war on us. The British crown stepped into the system made by France in 1759 including alliances with the natives who were functionally sovereign. The defeat of Pontiac and then the defeat of Tecumseh in the war of 1812 on the Thames river ended native sovereignty. Sovereignty only exists if you have an army that can win.
I've heard no commentary or spin on personal political points scored by Carlson on the American audience, except that Carlson imagines himself to be Trump's running mate. Did this angle work for Carlson? I steer clear of right wing US media, but interested in your take.
